Native Teleprompter for Apple Studio Display
Studio Display gives you a 5K canvas and a 12MP Center Stage camera in one package. Telepront is the teleprompter built to take full advantage of both: razor-sharp text on the Retina panel, a floating script panel right under the camera, and zero compromise on Apple Silicon.
See It in Action
Studio Display is the workhorse of the modern Apple desk setup. Its 5K resolution and 600 nit brightness mean text reads cleanly even from across the room, and Telepront takes full advantage by rendering at native pixel density with no scaling.\nThe 12MP Center Stage camera at the top of the bezel is what makes Studio Display a great teleprompter target. Mount the Mac mini or Mac Studio out of frame, point the camera at yourself and let Telepront's floating panel sit just below the lens. Your eye line stays naturally centred, and Center Stage keeps you framed even when you move.\nThe three-mic array picks up your voice cleanly, and macOS exposes it as a system input that Telepront can use for on-device speech recognition. Because the entire pipeline is local, scripts never leave your Mac and there is no perceptible latency between speech and scroll.\nFor podcasters, journalists and creators using Studio Display, Telepront is the missing piece between hardware and recording app: a free, native, always-on-top teleprompter that respects the panel and the camera you already paid for.
Key Features
How to Get Started
Tips from Creators
Place the panel 2 to 3 cm under the camera bezel, centred horizontally with the lens.
At 80 cm reading distance, 56 to 72 pt is comfortable on a 5K panel without overcrowding.
Keep the panel only 4 lines tall so your eyes stay close to the camera rather than scanning down the screen.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Studio Display's 12MP camera work well as a teleprompter cam?
Yes. Center Stage keeps you framed and Telepront's floating panel sits right under the lens, which is the ideal teleprompter geometry.
Can I use the Studio Display's microphones for voice scrolling?
Yes. macOS exposes the studio-quality three-mic array as a system input, and Telepront uses whichever mic you select.
Will text look crisp at 5K?
Yes. Telepront uses native AppKit and Core Text, so text is rendered at the panel's full pixel density with no scaling artifacts.
Does it work when the Studio Display is the only screen on a Mac mini or Mac Studio?
Yes. The floating panel works on a single display setup just as well as a multi-display one.
What macOS version do I need?
macOS 14 Sonoma or newer. macOS 15 Sequoia is fully supported.
